Savage B22 FV-SR 22 LR 16.25in Threaded Bolt Rifle, 10rd
About this product
The Savage B22 FV-SR 22 LR 16.25in Threaded Bolt Rifle, 10rd is a purpose-built rimfire platform that bridges the gap between precision target work and practical field use. Chambered in the ubiquitous .22 Long Rifle, this bolt-action rifle combines a heavy, button-rifled barrel with the legendary AccuTrigger to deliver consistent sub-MOA accuracy out of the box. The 16.25-inch barrel is threaded 1/2x28 for suppressors or muzzle brakes, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for optics. With a synthetic stock featuring a raised comb and vertical pistol grip, this rifle is as comfortable on the bench as it is in the field.

Key Features
- Heavy, Button-Rifled Barrel (16.25 in) — The heavy contour absorbs heat and reduces vibration, while button rifling ensures consistent spin for tight groups at 50 and 100 yards. Why it matters: You get match-grade barrel performance without the custom-gunsmith price tag.
- AccuTrigger — Savage’s user-adjustable trigger lets you dial pull weight from 2.5 to 6 pounds without tools or disassembly. Why it matters: A crisp, predictable break is the single biggest factor in rimfire accuracy—and this system delivers it right out of the box.
- Threaded Muzzle (1/2x28) — Factory-threaded for suppressors, compensators, or flash hiders, with a protective cap included. Why it matters: Suppressed .22 shooting is quiet enough for backyard training or pest control without ear protection.
- Raised Comb Synthetic Stock — The stock features a raised cheek piece and vertical pistol grip, improving eye alignment with scopes. Why it matters: You maintain a natural cheek weld even with high-mounted optics, reducing fatigue during long range sessions.
- Drilled and Tapped Receiver — Pre-drilled holes accept Weaver or Picatinny bases for scope mounting. Why it matters: You can mount your preferred optic in minutes without gunsmithing, making this rifle ready for precision work immediately.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the shooter who values accuracy over flash. It’s ideal for small-game hunters who want a reliable, quiet setup with a suppressor, and for target shooters who demand consistent sub-MOA groups at 50 yards. Collectors will appreciate the classic Savage engineering that’s been refined over decades—the AccuTrigger alone is a piece of firearms history that influenced trigger design across the industry. If you’re a history buff who remembers when .22 rifles were crude plinkers, the B22 FV-SR represents the modern evolution of precision rimfire.

Yes. The barrel is factory-threaded 1/2x28 and includes a thread protector. It accepts most .22 caliber suppressors without adapter rings.
